Good Morning Crafters, oh wow we had a wonderful response to last weeks special Celebration Challenge "Make it Bloom" and what gorgeous cards, well done and I'm sure you will want to know who were the lucky winners for the two very generous prizes, so without further ado I will use Random Org and discover who those lucky people are:-

dont forget to add Challenge #108 in the subject and which of the prizes you are claiming.

This weeks Challenge is all about the "Boys" so we want to see a card for a Man or Boy, Im sure you have both in your family so now's your chance to start creating. And of course we are now back to normality and of course our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30.

But this is providing you have used one of their gorgeous products on your card, it can be a image, one of their corresponding papers (you must tell us which) or even a printable, all these are of very good value and you will find them here,so do go and browse for yourself and you might even pick up a special offer. And even if you haven't used them they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice. Well you really cannot loose can you?

And now you will want to see what my Design Team have created for you, they have used a variety of images and all of them so very different from each other.

Well done Girls and Thank you so much for all your hard work, your cards are just stunning. The girls all work so hard and I do hope that you will pay them a visit and leave them some love for the inspiration they give us for this "For the Boys" Challenge.

If you want the chance of winning three digis of your choice or even better up, a chance of winning the gift voucher worth $30, then use a TPS product on your card. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning the three digis.
